Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Optional: 1 batch crispy baked tofu
Optional: 1 ¼ cups brown jasmine rice or long-grain brown rice, rinsed
1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
1 small white or yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
Pinch of salt, more to taste
1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin (1/4" wide) strips
1 yellow, orange or green bell pepper, sliced into thin (1/4" wide) strips
3 carrots, peeled and sliced on the diagonal into ¼" thick rounds (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 to 2 tablespoons panang curry paste* (use 1 for mild or 2 for spicy)
1 can (14 ounces) regular coconut milk
½ cup water
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce**
1 ½ teaspoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, to taste
Optional garnishes: fresh Thai basil or regular basil, sriracha or chili garlic sauce for extra spice

Steps:

  • If you'd like to serve rice with your curry (optional): Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the rinsed rice and continue boiling for 30 minutes, reducing heat as necessary to prevent overflow. Remove from heat, drain the rice and return the rice to pot. Cover and let the rice rest for 10 minutes or longer, until you're ready to serve. Just before serving, season the rice to taste with salt and fluff it with a fork.
  • To make the curry, warm a large skillet with deep sides over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the oil. Add the onion and a sprinkle of salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the bell peppers and carrots. Cook until the bell peppers are easily pierced through by a fork, 3 to 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and curry paste and cook, while stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Add the coconut milk and water, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the peppers and carrots have softened to your liking, about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you're adding crispy tofu, stir it in now.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter, tamari, sugar and lime juice. Add salt, to taste (I usually add a pinch or two). If the curry needs a little more punch, add ½ teaspoon more tamari, or for more acidity, add ½ teaspoon more lime juice.
  • Divide rice and curry into bowls and garnish with fresh basil, if using. If you love spicy curries, serve with sriracha or chili garlic sauce on the side.

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 lbs chicken thigh (boneless, cut into bite size pieces)
1 white onion (finely chopped)
5 cloves garlic (minced)
1 green bell peppers (chopped)
1 red bell peppers (chopped)
1/2 inch galangal (roughly sliced)
1 inch lemongrass (roughly sliced)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 small jar Thai Panang curry paste (measured to about 4 ½ tablespoons)
1 tablespoon unsweetened peanut butter
2 teaspoon fish sauce
1 pinch nutmeg powder (optional)
Salt to taste (if required)
2 teaspoon palm sugar (or brown sugar)
6-8 kaffir lime leave (crushed)
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
1/4 cup Thai basil leaves

Steps:

  • Heat skillet or deep bottom pan. Add coconut oil and wait until oil melts.
  • Sauté finely chopped onions in hot coconut oil until onion is translucent.
  • Add roughly chopped galangal, lemon grass.
  • Add minced garlic, red and green bell peppers. Cook for 2 minutes constantly stirring.
  • Push veggies to one side of the pan. Add washed and cleaned chicken things. Cook until chicken browns a bit and changes colour.
  • Mix chicken and veggies together. Continue cooking it for a minute more.
  • Again gather chicken veggie mix to one side of the pan. Scoop out Thai Panang curry paste ( or Thai red curry paste) to empty side of pan. Stir the paste and fry it in oil. Wait until oil separates from the paste. Pro-Tip : Do not skip frying curry paste in oil. Flavors cone out and curry turns delicious with this step.
  • Stir in unsweetened peanut butter, fish sauce and palm sugar. Nutmeg powder to be added now if using. Take Kaffir lime leaves on your palm and crush it. Add crushed kaffir lime leaves to the pan. Note - If you can't get palm sugar , substitute with brown sugar or jaggery. Crushing kaffir lime leaves helps release its wonderful aromatic oil, making Panang curry flavorsome.
  • Cook stirring regularly for 2 minutes.
  • Simmer flame. Pour in thick coconut milk. Give it a good stir.
  • Let it cook for 5-7 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
  • Add few Thai basil leaves. Stir.

SIMPLE PANANG CURRY



Simple Panang Curry image

This is the recipe we use at our house to make panang curry. It's very basic without frills or many extras and generally uses what we always have in the pantry, including canned curry paste. Adjust the heat by adjusting the amount of curry paste that you add. I make large batches of this of 10 to 12 servings, so that we have plenty of leftovers. My kids love this dish as written, which is very spicy! But if you are not a spice lover, start with 2 Tablespoons or less of the curry paste for 3 pounds of ground turkey. You can also substitute other protein sources, including tofu, beef, shrimp, and chicken.
